So As If Things Cant Get Worse....

Can You Imagine What SureAI Is Going To Do With Garfield?
So I've been going through a lot of panic attacks and loosing sleep....

as of a couple hours ago, my phone is acting really wacky.

Everything is slow on my phone but sometimes I can't click links or my phone freezes for a few seconds. Sometimes if I click some thing, another thing happens i.e. I'll press M on the key board and it will be like I pressed backspace.

I don't remember getting it wet. The only thing I did was change to a new battery but that was about a week and a half ago and it's an official battery.

I've restarted the phone, pulled battery out and put it back in, I did a scan.... Nothing seems to help.

I don't know what to do now. I'm already on edge due to bills, and my dad being sick and other issues and I'm not in a good state of mind.

Is there any advice for my phone though? It's an LG Aristo. Should I try to put old battery back in?

Chill, remember to breath easy. Panic attacks pass in time. Get some exercise, no caffeine 5-6 hours before bed and don't use your screen in bed to get some sleep patterns back to normal. Try to get a little schedule going, exercise in the morning first thing, eat, daily things, off phone and bed at similar times. Oh and get some sun, literally go stand with your face in the sun for 15 each day, you'll feel better.

As for your phone bill, call your phone company and they'll make payment arrangements or an extension for you, they're geared to help you out and them getting paid eventually. As for your battery problem sounds like a dodgy battery, get it replaced under warranty, try the old battery with a full charge and see if it's better and back to normal. Otherwise could be the screen/phone itself, you'll deal with that problem and it will go away too.

Hope your dad is alright mate, check in with him as you can.

Did you try the old battery? Call the place you bought the phone or the place you bought the battery? Factory reset your phone (if you have everything backed up first).

Was just coming back here to post about this and it might be the battery. Everything seems better so far now that I switched back to my old battery. I hope it's just battery because I cannot afford a new phone rn.

This happens when the motherboard fails to dissipate heat, open it up and check if all the thermal stuff is in the right position. If there was some adesive put it back

My toddler just smeared her poop all over my teenager's phone. Wife tried to clean it. It's not working. Feels bad man.

Well, I thought switching back to old battery helped. Seemed like it did but it's really bad today.

Just keeps freezing up and pressing one key might do something different. If I type very slow it seems okay though.

This shit is happening at a bad time when I no longer have money to afford a new phone, even a budget one (the phone I'm using is a budget phone fwiw - LG Aristo) and from what I'm hearing, while there's most likely going to be a 2nd stimulus, they may not be doing the $1200 to everyone again.

I've tried almost everything too with my phone.
